Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, much like his counterpart, President Obama, raised some eyebrows when issuing a statement about the death of Fidel Castro – a statement which glossed over his history of tyranny, political oppression, and death squads.

Trudeau took things a step further however, actually heaping praise and gushing over the former dictator of Cuba.

He referred to Castro as a “remarkable” man who was “recognized (for) his tremendous dedication and love for the Cuban people who had a deep and lasting affection for ‘el Comandante’.”

The comments were so over-the-top ridiculous that it sparked parody eulogies with the trending hashtag #TrudeauEulogies on social media.

Perhaps the best response to Trudeau’s statement comes from retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and Fox News contributor Ralph Peters, who in a mere nine words obliterates the Canadian Prime Minister for being an idiot.
